How to find the best workout according to your body types

Women have four distinct body types: pear, curvy (hourglass), straight and apple. Due to many different biological factors, it can be hard for women to lose weight. That is why it is best to focus on a workout that considers your body type.

Pear Workouts

You have a pear shape if you are wider from below the waist than you are up top. Your exercises will target your arms, shoulders and hips/thighs.

Here are the top workouts for pear body types.
